WORLD CLASS
SUPPORT
PROGRAMS
As well as the extensive
University-wide support
services available to all
students, the Business
School offers a range
of support programs
specifically for our own
students to enhance their
student experience and
help them achieve the best
possible results from day
one. Here are just a few of
the ways we’ll support your
academic life and career
development during your
time with us.
PEER MENTORING PROGRAM
Returning to university life after time
in the workforce can be challenging,
so the Business School’s postgraduate
peer mentoring program is designed
to help you settle back into student
life with ease. Held during the first six
weeks of semester, small groups of
new postgraduate students participate
in a range of formal and informal
activities, supported by an experienced
postgraduate student mentor. It’s the
perfect way to build social and academic
networks and smooth your transition
back to university life.

PEER-ASSISTED STUDY SESSIONS
(PASS)
The PASS program is a voluntary
academic support program that provides
assistance with subjects that are new or
technically challenging to some students.
Sessions consist of small, discussion-
based subject-specific study groups led
by a qualified peer facilitator (a student
who has recently achieved a high grade
in the subject). Students benefit not
only from group learning, but also from
the facilitator’s experience.
Our research has found that students
who participate in the PASS program
are likely to achieve a higher grade than
students who do not.
